Ingredients  

  • 1 Ham, Bone-in
  • Pineapple Glaze (pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey)
  • Pineapple slices
  • Maraschino Cherries
  • 8-10 Cloves

Instructions 

Prepare the Ham

  1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F. Score the surface of the ham to create a diamond pattern (spiral cut ham). This helps the glaze seep in and adds a beautiful presentation. Insert cloves into the ham, placing one in the center of each pineapple slice. Pour the syrup mixture around the ham.

Create the Glaze

  1. In a saucepan, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey and cherry juice. Simmer until thickened.

Smoke the Ham

  1. Place the ham in the smoker and cook for about 1-2 hours, basting it with the glaze every 30 minutes.

Final Glaze and Serve

  1. Once the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F, give it one final glaze, let it rest for 10 minutes, then serve.
